Mark Streit has signed a new contract with the Montreal Canadiens.

27 pts in 69 games last year.

He's a good 7th d-man now and his cap hit is really good. Nice assurance to have on press-box if injuries occur.

Ouch, there's a lot of teams that desperately need NHL capable defencemen and Montreal isn't one of them
Good add. Would be fun to see MTL vs NSH in the finals for all kinds of reasons

Where does Markov go now? He's got a short list and didn't make it work with MTL that offered him the best fit.
Chicago can't afford him
Does Tampa want him?

Boston, Buffalo, New Jersey? Long shot Vegas
50-50 he plays in the KHL

And now Marc Bergevin has succeeded in building the slowest blue line of all time.

The fastest player Montreal lost is Beaulieu and he's playing without his head. (aka no hockey IQ whatsoever).

that is a good one by MB. I think Streit with a young Morrow can be a good mix in the bottom D corp. If I were MB I would be on the phone trying to find a younger LD to replace Markov ...

But does it even matter he retired
